The George Hotel is the most beautiful colonial building - let down by poor hotel management. The rooms are shoddy at best and the service is non-existent. They seem more interested in their bar traffic than their hotel guests. If they advertised themselves as a backpackers, this place would be fantastic. As a hotel, poor. More

I stayed at The George with a party of 5 teachers on a Britsh Council Project over Feb Half term. I didn't know what to expect having read the diverse reviews on here. I can honestly say it was lovely. The hotel is surrounded by tall trees and sits back from the road. I stayed in one of the Dunn... More

The George is a small South African country hotel and, knowing a little about how small South African country towns work, my expectations were set relatively low. I was however a little alarmed by a previous poor review and therefore booked the deluxe rooms at a whopping R800/night. On arrival, everything was very pleasing - whilst the receptionist had gone...

As per 1 star review, the rooms are a little shabby around the edges although our room wasnt as bad a the photos posted. The photo of the pool was accurate, although people still swam in it! We came here to try the micro brew beer, unfortunetly the tap wasnt working so if you're coming for the same reasons, call... More

I don't understand this critic. The house is antic so windows and floor are charming, even some rooms are a little bis small is very clean and conofrtable. Graham is... More

If we had read the one-star review below before our visit to Eshowe (and I have not given the rooms at the George a rating because we did not stay in the hotel, though we ate there) we would probably not have visited at all. That would have been a pity - for reasons that have everything to do with... More

This place is in drastic need of repairs and is definitely not worth staying in. This is my first review and since I was having trouble finding reviews about this place I decided that I should warn others. I have included photos below to ensure you that I am not exaggerating. Overall everything is old and in need of some... More
